GB/T 15706-2012 Safety of machinery—General principles for design—Risk assessment and risk reduction
Basic Information
Scope
This standard specifies the basic terms, principles, and methods used to achieve mechanical safety during the mechanical design process, as well as the principles of risk assessment and risk reduction, to help designers achieve the goal of mechanical safety. These principles are based on knowledge and experience related to the design, use, events, accidents, and risks of machinery. This standard also specifies procedures for identifying hazards, estimating and evaluating risks, eliminating hazards or sufficiently reducing risks during the relevant stages of the machine's life cycle, and guidelines for documenting and validating risk assessment and risk reduction procedures.
This standard applies to machinery as defined in 3.1.
This standard does not address risks and/or hazards to livestock, property, or the environment. This standard can also serve as a basis for developing Class B or Class C safety standards.
